Calling - Philip Yeung

. .

Résumé :
In a world obsessed with self-discovery, we often discern our calling through gifts, passion or 'open doors'. Is God really calling you? Throughout Scripture, God never intends His calling for our lives to be a mystery to solve or a list of things to do. The deeper we know God and dwell in His Word, the more naturally we discern His will. The secret is that there is no secret. Therefore, this book will not teach you how to look for 'signs', discover your gifts or hear a 'voice'. Nor will it tell you which career or ministry to choose. Rather, this book will take you on a journey through 24 Bible stories - from both Old and New Testaments - and examine how God reveals His calling clearly and practically. Drawing from four decades of experience in counselling and walking alongside seminary students in Hong Kong, Dr Philip Yeung uses Scripture brings Scripture to life with piercing clarity and relevance to address common misconceptions expressed by Christians about discerning God's calling. Whether you're in the workplace, ministry, or in transition, this book will help you discover:how to discern calling biblically through first being rooted in God why calling is not about you - it's about the heart of the One who calls how Scripture, not signs or feelings, guides your path clearly and practically how to distinguish false drives or urges from sacred calling...

Biographie:
Rev. Dr. Philip Yeung (Yeung Sek Cheung) was raised in Hong Kong and trained as a medical doctor at the University of Hong Kong. Five years into his practice, he believed God called him to leave his profession to serve in theological education in Hong Kong. His calling was to provide biblical teaching and training for Chinese church leaders, emphasizing the active integration of biblical knowledge with everyday life. After graduating from Regent College, Canada, with a Master of Christian Studies, he devoted the next 40 years of his life to teaching at the China Graduate School of Theology, where he specialized in the teaching of biblical languages, wisdom literature, as well as homiletics and pastoral care. His medical training, his proficiency in both biblical Hebrew and Greek, and his journey in discovering God's calling for his life, all equipped him with insights into the Bible as well as the ability to dissect biblical teachings and help his students apply them in modern life. Over his four decades of ministry, Dr. Yeung developed a comprehensive theological framework known as Creation Theology, based on an analytical elaboration of the physical, functional and moral orders of creation as portrayed in Genesis 1-3. This framework became an integral part of his teachings on various aspects of Christian life, including vocation, spiritual formation, suffering, and the interpretation of wisdom literature in the Bible. Dr. Yeung actively applied his Creation Theology framework in Bible studies, workshops and retreats. He was a frequent speaker at the Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES, the Hong Kong branch of IFES), as well as the Hong Kong Professional and Executive Services (HKPES), a Christian organization focused on equipping Christians in the marketplace. His passion was to train university students and young Christian professionals, helping them to integrate their faith into their everyday work and life experiences....
